I was tagged by my cousin in law Tiff to give 8 random facts about myself- I'll admit at first I was a bit intimidated and didnt think I would be able to think of 8 things interesting enough about me to blog....however with the help of my wonderful daughter Kelsey I have managed to come up with some things not made public to everyone (until now :)
Here are the rules:
1. I have to post these rules before I give you the facts.
2. Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
3. People who are tagged need to write a post on their own blog (about their eight things) and post these rules. (if you don’t have a blog, email me)
4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
5. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.
8 random facts about me you never knew, maybe didnt want to know, but regardless now you know !
1. I have a freakish sense of smell-really- ask my husband...it drives him nuts-I can smell things dogs and sharks probably dont...smell is the one thing that will gross me out more than just about anything. I am obsessive about how my house smells. There are candles and plug ins everywhere and I vacuum almost daily-If I dont think it smells good I will hunt down the source and not stop until I am rid of it !
2. I dont know if this next one is a result from being a mom for 13 years ( although there was 12 years in between babies ) but I sway when I am standing- ALWAYS...anywhere...in line at the grocery store, in church when singing or praying, while waiting to buy tickets at the movies...you get the idea..I have tried to stop but to no avail the swaying continues.
3. this next one kind of reminded me of Tiff and her peanut butter and chocolate- I cannot stand peanut butter out of the jar or on sandwiches but I love Nutter Butter cookies and Reeses Pieces! go figure
4. Any money in my wallet ( on the rare occasion that there is any ) must always be turned face up and going the same direction as well as in denomination order from largest to smallest with smallest always being in front.
5. I make my bed everyday- yes, every day, no exceptions !! If I leave the house and my hubby is still in the bed, be guaranteed it is the first thing I will do upon returning home ( second only to a dirty diaper or hungry baby ) I will and have been late to work because I was making my bed- may seem strange but if the bed is made the whole room seems cleaner.
6. All of the clothes in my closet are arranged by season and color- with tank tops being first, followed by t-shirts, short sleeved shirts, long sleeved shirts, and finally sweaters ( pants and skirts are on a separate rod alltogether). I have tried to incorporate this method on my husband's side of the closet but much to my dismay he seems to have no appreciation for the system !
7. I have this weird habit of touching a water bottle to my teeth before I drink it- I dont notice it with other drinks only water bottles ??? doesnt have to be any certain number of times but I do it each time I take a drink- If I pause from drinking and then resume again I have to retouch.
8. Finally, the pantry has to be arranged according to food items- snack foods and cereals at the bottom where there is more room for large bags and boxes...pasta and sauces conveniently placed near one another and all canned goods arranged by flavor ..i.e. vegetables together with green beans stacked together, soups together, as well as rotel and tomato based items near each other. Green beans will never be stacked with peas..if there is only one can of green beans left then they will be solo until the next trip to the grocery store.
I now realize how strange I am after writing all of this down but at least I havent been pooped on by birds 7 times ( sorry Kim :) I am tagging..... Dana, Shan, Lisa, Mom, Karen, Kelley, Joey, and Kels.
Iwill update with pics as soon as I get the camera program loaded to the laptop-
